ABSTRACT

Our collaborative practice aims to contribute to the public imaginary of our sociotechnical future by exploring how machines creatively and aesthetically participate in social encounters. In this chapter, we begin by briefly describing our long-term art–science collaboration before introducing our current Machine Movement Lab project. Methodological development and knowledge production are deeply entangled in our practice.

We discuss the underlying core concepts that are constitutive to and materially enacted by our methodology of embodied, performative inquiry, as well as the new insights and understandings they produce.
